7-8 years is a good time to start exploring consulting. You can get a job with a firm or just go solo. Good communication skills are needed, maybe more so than technical skills. If you get really busy, scale up your practice by adding junior talent. Building teams can be rewarding. You get to pick who you want to work with rather than having them dropped in your lap by corporate. As you gain more experience, picking your relationships will be key.
